See IMetadataProvider for the other methods you can use on metadata, such
as has_metadata(), metadata_isdir(), metadata_listdir(),
etc. Distributions support both IMetadataProvider and IResourceProvider,
if they were created with an appropriate metadata object. (i.e, they're
ones created by find_distributions() and its kin, as opposed to ones that
are just links found on a web page.)
